Exam PMP topic 1 question 1360 discussion

To integrate the new team member effectively, the project manager should establish clear expectations about their role, responsibilities, and how their Agile experience can contribute to the predictive environment. Setting expectations helps the new team member adapt to the new approach while leveraging their unique skills to add value to the team. Why not D: While team alignment is important, it is more critical to first establish expectations with the new team member. Introducing them to the team can follow once their role and responsibilities are clear.

A. Set expectations with the new team member and explain what is needed

I think correct Answer is C. He is coming from Agile environment to Waterfall. He needs to know the difference

This is only A

As per GPT - Choice A, "Set expectations with the new team member and explain what is needed," is indeed a critical step in integrating a new team member. However, it primarily focuses on one-on-one communication between the project manager and the new team member, rather than fostering team cohesion and transparency. While setting expectations with the new team member (Choice A) is necessary, meeting with all team members to explain the new employee's position (Choice D) is more comprehensive. It not only sets clear expectations but also promotes team cohesion, transparency, and collaboration, which are essential for effective integration and leveraging the new member's agile experience. Therefore, Choice D is the more effective approach in this context.
